Bug description

Cannot use herd sites when herd is running in non admin user.

Steps to reproduce

1. Have a Mac with macOS .
2. Create second regular account without admin rights.
3. Install herd in the seconds non admin account.
4. Try to add a site to herd either using or the GUI.
5. Discover that you cannot add sites and returns empty list.
6. Make a GitHub issue and hope for a miracle.

Same here. MacOS Sonoma, with a user not present in the sudoers file due to company policy.

Herd file is present in the /etc/sudoers.d path with the following content:

%admin ALL=(root) NOPASSWD:SETENV: /usr/bin/security

Is there any way to run FPM without root privileges?

Thank you.

Same here. MacOS Sequoia. Installed under a standard account.

1. herd link does not work (it reports a successful symbolic link but it actually is not created)
2. herd.yml aliases does not work either as they also use symbolic links
3. of course, can not set a site to https
